Grey-haired young-of-mind software engineer that has been down in the bits and bytes of embedded systems, kernels though not a passion, love distributed systems and the challenges associated with them, dream up all kinds of stuff and wish I had an army of robots to do them for me.

Most of what I do is ground up. Software is a tool to explore solutions.

There are a LOT of very smart folks doing software/hardware, well about anything! Makes it fun. All folks are inherently intelligent and capable. It only takes interest and patience to have amazing thoughts and do amazing things.
